UNBIDDEN WEDDING GUESTS.
Loungers Around the Church Doors
Contempt of Shoddydom.

LOu0SeTS AROUND the
Contempt of shoddydoIn.
Several millions were being married at
Grace church the other afternoon, when the
chance of business took me to that neighbor-
hood. There was canvas passage way from
the church door to the curb, and carriages OF
all varieties came rafting up, deposited ladies
in gay spring toilets and whirled off to make
place for others. The police had charge OF
the affair and hustled the mob of men and
women loungers with little mercy. The people
in the carriages looked askant at the audi
ence as they went by them, drawing their
skirts in from any sullying contact. Even
the lackeys on the coaches had sneer for the
swarm that had not sold itself to a uniform
Of servility And I was gratified to note
that scarcely face that came in the car
riages, all garnished out to make the best
show by the fashionable milliner, was as
pretty as dozens in the mob. and that not
funky in livery carried himself as well as
some of the idle workmen who watched the
show from along the railings of the parson-
age garden. There is some curious fatality
attaching to the aristocracy of New York
that makes most of the women in it ugly.
As for the servants Of the aristocracy, they
are the poorest counterfeit of the real John
Thomases of Belgravia and Mayfair that
could be conceived.
The crowd was good natured crowd and
laughed at the contempt of shoddydom. 1t had
good word for an attractive face or dress
when one arrived and hearty word for the
bridesmaids, who looked quite pretty in
their white and old gold beribboned dresses,
though there was not a really pretty
girl among them. One shabby old
woman, with a catskin boa twisted round
her neck as il she was going to hang
herself with it, professed to know every one
in the fashionable world, and kept an admir-
ing circle about her by calling out the names
of the arrivals to them. She really did seem
to be conversant with her subject, and per-
formed her duties as mistress of the cere-
monies we'll
By $3.50 the opposite side of Broadway was
packed and all the doorsteps were crowded.
Private carriages blocked the way in the cross
streets, and the police at the church were
kept busy. A carriage with coachman and
footman wearing wedding favors in their
hats drove up, and little cheer greeted it.
Then the organ began to buzz within the
church like a bee in tumbler. The old
woman in the catskin boa suddenly became
clairvoyant She could see through the
white walls, and there was the bride coming
to the altar on her fathers arm and the groom
meeting her in the chancel The music grew,
and we, who go the opera, knew it for the
wedding march from "Lohengrin." The
seeress shut her watery eyes and dreamed the
whole scene over like one who was acting it
herself. Who knows but it may have been
an act of her own life the poor old woman
gave the gaping mob? till suddenly the we'd
ding bells were clashing overhead, and with a
dreadful shrek she went into fit upon the
fags-Alfred Trumble in New York News.

Pointing to the brass sign with brass letters
before his store door, a Broadway merchant
said the other day: There is a sign that cost
me over $500. As you can see yourself it is
not more than two feet square, and Is made
of sheet metal less than half an inch thick.
yet it is the most expensive appointment
about my entire place. How is thatf Hi
tell you That sign is thing of beauty, in
fact it is only of use so long as 1t is kept
bright The variations Of our climate are 50
great that it takes persistent and patient
Furnishing to keep the sign in any sort of
condition, and to that end let the Job out TO
a man who makes a business of polishing lust
such doorside ornaments. The sign cost me
originally, / believe, SO. and in the ten wears
/ have had it have paid about 81 week to
have it kept bright The man who contracts
for the work has charge of nearly all the
brass and metal signs from the Battery TO
Forty-second street He keeps each sign
FURNISHED for a certain amount monthly. and
he has in his employ a number of men. who
have no difficulty in finding work every day

HABITS OF WASHINGTON.

His Early Hou1' of Rising and His Excess
i've Dignity.
The newspapers tell, as bit of surprising
news, about President Cleveland's extraor
binary energy in beginning the business of
the day at Z o'clock in the morning The
readers who are as5onished over this extraor-
dinary activity have forgotten how far
Washington beat this record The father of
his country would have regarded man who
opened his business office at o'clock as g
hopeless sluggard. He was up daily at 4
o'clock, and had things fairly humming about
the house good while before &. Life was a
busy affair to him. He let no grass grow
under his feet. He wasn't what we call a
'gusheg", il tlesa des..sGsagata Aaya il Ola

sympathy from individuals and subordinates

When Washington, at Newburgr resigned
command of the american army he had, as
regards temptation to continue in power
something more thaa1 the remuneration of all
unlawful authority. He saw before him
scores of brother otficers-,nen of refinement
and superior intelligence, who on the .lisband-
ment of the army would be literally beggarS
who had not in their pockets the money to
buy single meal. He well knew that re
publicS are uEgrateful and foreetful He
knew that these men, some already past their
prime and enteebled in body by the privations
and harl~hips Of seven years war, would
have to commence life anew, and as regards
previous training and experience at great
disadvantage i'll entering the lists of the sci.
fish world of business. He saw for the future
in these sad lives and sad examinations to
those lives He knew through the continll-
ance of his authority, 10 matter how the form
or name was disguised, that he could provide
these men with positions which would have
secured them and their families a comfortable
living. He saw in the near future Of his own
time that the scheming politician would
thrust the honest soldier aside, and that all
the elements of demagogiSm and corruption
We're rampant for action SO soon as the mill
tary power should be exchanged for the civil.
Such temptation to hold power, coming q
sympathy, may with some be even stronger
than that arising from love Of power. In
resgning command of the American army
Washington knew that he was Indirectly con
signing many OF his brother officers to pov-
erty, almost beggary. The hardest No re-
4uired by justice is to say No to the plead
iDgs of ones own heart for near friends

This is country, says Rose Kingsley, Of
"big parks, big woods, big fields, big fences,
ic trees" 1t is a fat land, a .olling country
of green hills, yet really without any eleva-
ton high enough to be called hill. In
springtime its woods are full of primroses
lEnglish prinroses), and its meadows of cow
slips English cowslips), and the nightingales
sing in the 'spinneys," that is, in the little
groves thick with underbrush, for the coyer.
of the nightingale is low.
A traveller visiting in the neighbtrhood Of
this old home of the Washingtons will see an
ancient heronry, which was doubtless IA
miliar object to Lawrence Washingtons SONS,
William John and Lawrence. For the her.
ons and rocks of England are as tenacious Of
their holdings as the doughtiest country
squire who dates the ownership of his lands,
or, which is all the same, the lands of his an
cestors, from the time of William the Con-
queror or even further back
At one time, however, unlike the country
squire, the herons meditated abandoning their
ancient hold. They took to building in
neighboring spinney; but the head keeper
wasn't going to stand that, and SO tore the
nests down, and the herons went back to their
old place.

The treason of Arnold was not the only vii

Tories were not the only outlaws Pretended
"Whigs" plundered alike friend and foe as
opportunity offered. None were more dreaded
at the east end of Long Island by the Amer
lean residents during the British occupation
than the American cowboys" from the Con-
necticut shore, who, crossing in whale boats,
robbed them numerically. American Of
ficers were detected stealing plate and bed
ding from unprotected American farmers at
White Plains.
It has been said that Washington was not
"great general" But does not gelaeralship
and methods of action depend on the nature
of the difficulties to be overcome! Leader

ENGLISH HOME OF THE wASHINGToNS
About mile from this cottage stands, upon
a hilltop, the ancient brown stone church
where Lawrence Washington--the father OF
John-worshiped, and within which he is
buried with his wife and several children. A
stone slab in the pavement Of the aisle marks
the spot. This stone bears the Washington
coat of arms, on one-half Of which are two
stripes with three stars above them, which
stars and stripes, some people have thought,
found their way into our national flag.
J. The monuments in this Brington church
are very fine and are in an excellent state OF
ereseryation In the civil wars of Cromwells
firne his soldiers took pleasure in breaking
che noses and otherwise defacing the recum-
bent figures over the ancestral tombs in the
many churches and cathedrals OF England.
But Edward Spencer was Puritan and a
friend of Cromwell's, and it was through his
influence that these excellent memorials in
sRrington church were spared.
